Thank you. I do not want to create a debate here, but the fact is, Mr. Chairman, and I think it should be clear in the minds of all Members including the Chairman of the Special Committee on Constitutional Reform, the vote on October 26 has nothing to do with the text. It has to do with the report, and accord, reached in Charlottetown, not with the text. I think it is incumbent upon us to be clear, that what we endorse is not the legal text. It is this agreement, and all I am saying to you is that I support it. How am I supposed to suggest that I endorse something that the people may vote against? In the end, in the final analysis, the people will vote, and then this Assembly cannot endorse the report. There is a very important distinction between those two words. I think that what you are doing, or making as a suggestion, or what your special committee is suggesting, is that we should endorse something that the people have not consented to. I accept and will support the agreement, but I cannot and will not endorse it, because that is the work that you have to resolve, in terms of ensuring that when this Assembly deals with it, in the end, that we are happy, and that we can, as an Assembly, endorse the agreement based on the decision of the people.

Maybe some people here want to override the vote, maybe that is what you want to do, but you should say that and state it clearly. I intend to move a motion of amending, that would suggest that we accept and support the Consensus Report. If you vote against that, that is clearly up to you.
